BWF profile

Sukamuljo and Gideon are often referred to as "the Minions" because of their below average height and for their fast and agile playing style, jumping and bouncing just like the Minions in the film Despicable Me. Gillian Clark, a BWF commentator, stated that the fast play shown by Sukamuljo and Gideon have taken the men's doubles game to a new level and makes the matches more exciting to watch.

Early and personal life edit

Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo was born on 2 August 1995 in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia, to parents Sugiarto Sukamuljo and Winartin Niawati of Chinese Indonesians ethnicity.[2][3][4] He is the nephew of former world number 1 men's doubles player, Alvent Yulianto.[5] Sukamuljo started to learn about badminton at two and a half years, by seeing his father play on the court behind their house.[6] Noticing young Sukamuljo's interest in badminton, his father then found a coach in Jember at the Putra 46 club to foster his child's talent for a year.[7] Sukamuljo later entered the Sari Agung club in Banyuwangi and in 2006, at the age of eleven, he won a Graha Bhakti Cup tournament.[6] Recognizing his talent, Sukamuljo's parents encouraged him to join a bigger club. He then took part at the general auditions scholarship held by PB Djarum, but failed due to his small physique. However, he refused to give up, and began training everyday, instead of his usual 4 days a week routine. With these additional hours, he finally managed to pass the audition at PB Djarum in 2007.[3][8][9][10]

After joining PB Djarum, Sukamuljo went through defeat after defeat. At first, Sukamuljo played in the men's singles discipline. However, he was then turned toward the doubles disciplines, experimenting with both the men's and mixed doubles. Initially, he and his parents resisted this turn toward specialization in doubles,[3][11] but men's doubles coach Ade Lukas believed that this was where Sukamuljo's skills and abilities would be best utilized. After a year of training in doubles, he showed progress and had great expectations going forward.[12]

In January 2022, Sukamuljo revealed his romantic relationship with entrepreneur Valencia Tanoesoedibjo, the second daughter of Indonesian media businessman and politician Hary Tanoesoedibjo, after much speculation from the public from around December 2021.[13] The two were officially engaged in August 2022, in which Sukamuljo proposed to Tanoesoedibjo at the Jakarta International Stadium.[14] The couple got married on March 23, 2023 in Paris, France.[15] Sukamuljo's teammates Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto were present as groomsmen in the ceremony.[15]
